A FIRST value blending cooperation and competition — helping others even while competing against them; some games reward it directly.
where you actually meet Coopertition
Coopertition shows up concretely: helping a rookie wire their PDH the morning of quals, sharing scouting data with an alliance partner, lending a battery to the team you play next. Several games have also made it literal, awarding a ranking point only when both alliances cooperate on a shared objective — so the value is sometimes worth real points in the standings.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
